Happy Thursday!

I probably have not attempted negotiations when I should have.
Most contract gigs, I told the headhunter what I was looking for and
they told me what they were willing to submit me for.
Last job and this job, I was offered an amount that I accepted.
It's been ages since I was looking for work while still working .
Oh, well.
